In the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 which enters the Shibuya Arc, Kokichi Muta, also known as Mechamaru, surprisingly becomes the center of attention because he has an unexpected change. Mechamaru, who was originally known as a dedicated sorcerer from Kyoto Jujutsu High School, is now labeled a traitor who betrayed his fellow Jujutsu sorcerers for his personal gain.

Moreover, the moment at the end of episode six of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 shows a gripping battle between Mechamaru and Mahito who are trying to survive the attacks of one of the strongest curses. This question raises questions about the reason for the betrayal he committed. So, are you curious about the real reason why Mechamaru betrayed the Jujutsu sorcerers? Let's discuss this matter.

What Exactly Happened to Mechamaru?

Kokichi Muta is a sorcerer using the Puppet Manipulation Technique, therefore, he uses a doll named Mechamaru to live his life as a jujutsu sorcerer while his real body remains hidden in a closed room. That is the reason why many Jujutsu Kaisen viewers are more familiar with the name Mechamaru than the name Kokichi Muta because usually his name is not mentioned in the series.

Kokichi controls Mechamaru and the other puppets while remaining in a room. Even though on the outside, Mechamaru looks quite cheerful and interacts a lot with other sorcerers, his real body is in a lot of pain with bandages covering his whole body. Even Kokichi no longer has his right arm because it was severed, and his two legs are rendered useless and can't be used to stand up anymore.

This condition occurred due to the binding effect of the Heavenly Restriction skill that was imposed on him. Heavenly Restriction is a curse that will impact a person's cursed energy upon it in return for imposing the restriction or enhancement to their original physical form. So, the impact of this Heavenly Restriction is indeed uncertain for everyone, it could become an extraordinary gift or even the greatest curse to one's life. In Kokichi Muta's case, this move became a curse for him. It was different from Maki and Toji who also used Heavenly Restriction, but because they lacked even almost non-existent curse energy, using this move actually increased their physical abilities.

The Reason Why Mechamaru Betrayed His Fellow Jujutsu Sorcerers

You might feel sorry for Mechamaru who is always in pain, so you wonder what benefit he got from betraying the Jujutsu sorcerers. The only definite answer is his desire to obtain Mahito's Idle Transfiguration Technique. It was the only technique that could be used on him so he could be healed. Because Kokichi Muta really wants a normal body and a normal life, he is even willing to give up all his cursed energy to get it.

Meanwhile, Geto and Mahito aren't interested in the cursed energy, as the two have a bigger plan. In exchange for healing Kokichi's body as he wished, Mahito and Geto asked him to divulge some important details about Jujutsu Wizard High School and he agreed and made Mechamaru a traitor.

Even though he actually betrayed his friends, he didn't mean to hurt them. In exchange for the information he gave Geto and Mahito, he asked Mahito and Kenjaku alias Geto to never hurt his Sorcerer friends. In fact, as you saw what happened in the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, Geto and Mahito broke their promise, which is why Geto then asked Mahito to heal his body, and they engaged in a life-and-death battle with them. But apparently, Mechamaru was not strong enough to fight Mahito and ultimately met his death in such a formidable presence.

So, that's the reason Mechamaru betrayed the Jujutsu Kaisen sorcerers in the latest episode of Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2. If you need more information about games, movies, anime, or esports, you can download the Dunia Games app.
